Content from October Perspectives on History Now Online

Most of the text of the October Issue of Perspectives on History is now available online. The issue begins with the article, “ History Mom,” from AHA president Gabrielle M.

K-16 education is a hot topic this month, with three articles approaching the issue in different ways. Karen Halttunen’s “ The American Historical Association and K–16 Collaboration” examines how different committees and divisions of the AHA have emphasized the importance of K-12 education and some new initiatives with a K-12 focus.
